Just back from our second stay at Agape Cottages. As expected, my wife and I had a fantastic vacation. The owners (Tom, Donna, and Dr. Baldwin) are really cool people who make you feel at home.

Tortola is not for everyone, as it has little shopping and no casinos. If that's what you are looking for in a Caribbean vacation, then you need to go somewhere else. But if you are looking for quiet, laid back relaxation in the best part of the Caribbean (in my opinion) you can't beat Tortola. And if you've chosen Tortola as your destination, I would highly recommend Agape Cottages.

Walking distance to Cane Garden Bay, wonderful views, and wonderful people. We are already looking forward to our next trip.

This is not the Ritz. There is no Ritz on Tortola. But after more than a dozen trips to various parts of the Caribbean, it's our favorite little slice of paradise.

Great place, great bargain, super owners. We had a great time.

I stayed at Agape Cottages from 6/10-6/15/10. We were greeted by Donna upon our arrival & she provided us with very useful information & things to do. The cottage was sufficient, although the mattress on the bed is just a very firm piece of foam. Only the bedroom is air-conditioned. We had maid service once while there. Agape needs to invest in some new towels as ours smelled of mildew. Short walk to Cane Garden Bay....walk back up to the cottage is LEG-BREAKING! Not recommended for elderly at all or for smokers. Walk back is very, very STEEP! Also, there is no pool on premises. All in all a wonderful time was had, but next time I will stay somewhere else.

Tortola truly offered a taste of the "Old Caribbean". There were no mega-hotels, restaurant chains or tourist traps--everything was completely laid back. Tom and Donna's Agape Cottages fit in with this "old Caribbean" feeling perfectly. Both Tom and Donna were very accommodating and Donna's recommendations and advice allowed us to see Tortola , Jost Van Dyke and Virgin Gorda as if we actually knew where we were going, knew how to get there and knew what we wanted to see. Donna's recommendations on rental cars, ferry boats, restaurants, boat charters (Aristocat / wonderful!) and the like were all excellent and eliminated the time we would have otherwise spent researching such matters. Cane Garden Bay is, by far, the best location on Tortola. We could easily access by rental car, all of the various bays, bars, restaurants, West End and Road Town from Cane Garden. Many of the restaurants were accessible by foot from Agape Cottages. Road Town was a little challenging driving in a round-about on the "wrong side" of the road. Bottom line is that we are going back--soon.
